SOURCE: 1. The Great Compromise - The Virginia Plan provided for representation to be based on the population of each state. On the other hand, the New Jersey Plan proposed equal representation for every state. The Great Compromise, also called the Connecticut Compromise, combined both plans.
It was decided that there would be two chambers in Congress: the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate would be based on equal representation for each state and the House would be based on population.
2. The Three-Fifths Compromise - Delegates from Northern states, where the economy did not rely heavily on slavery, felt that slaves should not be counted toward representation because counting them would provide the South with a greater number of representatives. Southern states fought for slaves to be counted in terms of representation. The compromise between the two became known as the three-fifths compromise because every five slaves would be counted as three individuals in terms of representation.
3. The Commerce Compromise - Northern states wanted the government to be able to impose import tariffs on finished products to protect against foreign competition and encourage the South to buy goods made in the North and also export tariffs on raw goods to increase revenue flowing into the United States. However, the Southern states feared that export tariffs on their raw goods would hurt the trade upon which they heavily relied.
The compromise mandated that tariffs were only to be allowed on imports from foreign countries and not exports from the U.S.
4. The Slave Trade Compromise - Those who opposed slavery in the Northern states wanted to bring an end to the importation and sale of slaves. This was in direct opposition to Southern states, which felt that slavery was vital to their economy...In this compromise, Northern states...agreed to wait until 1808 before Congress would be able to ban the slave trade in the U.S.
5. The Election of the President - While some delegates felt that the president should be popularly elected, others feared that the electorate would not be informed enough to make that decision...In the end, the two sides compromised with the creation of the Electoral College, which is made up of electors roughly proportional to population. Citizens actually voted for electors bound to a particular candidate who then votes for the president.
QUESTION: Based on sources 2 and 3, what was the main disagreement between representatives at the Constitutional Convention?
Representation in the in the legislative branch.
Elections in the executive branch
